Extron Case Study - Early Learning Center Showcases Murrieta Valley USD Education Technology Initiatives with Extron AV

Posted on 24 July 2026

Murrieta Valley Unified School District (Murrieta Valley USD) in Riverside County, California, serves 21,603 students in grades TK-12 on 21 campuses, including eleven elementary schools, four middle schools, three high schools, two alternative education centers, and the Early Learning Center. The district is in the top 30 percent of California public schools, measured by testing ranking.

CHALLENGES

For much of its 35 year history, Murrieta Valley USD has depended on Extron classroom audiovisual systems and GlobalViewer^® Campus Communication Suite (GVCCS). A pair of Extron case studies published in 2018 and 2020 describe how the District has incorporated Extron audiovisual hardware and software into its campuses, classrooms, and district-wide operations.

When a local private preschool put their building up for sale, the District acquired it and transformed it into the Early Learning Center (ELC). The facility provided a blank slate to enhance the building with new spaces attuned to the needs of pre-K children, their parents, caregivers, and teachers. These spaces include a multipurpose room suitable for meetings and assemblies, classrooms for preschool education programs, and outdoor play areas.

The district superintendent challenged the in-house IT/AV team to make the ELC a pathfinder for the latest education-focused technology, including audiovisual systems, advanced power backup, advanced networking and Power over Ethernet++, electronic access control door locks, modern security systems including advanced analytic detection systems, and emergency management systems.

Today, I had the great privilege of representing the city and congratulating the school district on opening its first new site since Murrieta Mesa High School opened nearly 10 years ago. On behalf of my colleagues on the city council, we are thrilled to see the school district growing to meet the needs of our community. If you haven’t seen the Early Learning Center, you should take a tour. The school staff and those who worked on this project did an amazing job in such a short time.
